Delta Airlines’s New Memo For Aspiring Flight Attendants

According to a memo which was recently shared by Delta Airlines, there are a number of guidelines that a prospective flight attendant interviewing for the job must comply with. The memo is two pages long and talks about almost every aspect of a person’s appearance, from nails to shoes.

As per the memo, this is being monitored since flight attendants are, most of the time, the face of the airline. As such, to “enhance each customer’s experience”, these guidelines were put in place. In addition to talking about highlighting the acceptable appearance, the memo also mentions conduct.

It says that on the day of the interview, the use of phones or earbuds is not allowed. It specifies that if the flight attendants are wearing dresses or skirts, the length of these apparel should reach below the knee.

Toward the end, it mentions that Delta Airlines may work to accommodate the prospective flight attendants’ appearance or attire for specific religious beliefs. However, they should not cause a safety hazard.
